Rory returned to Spotland on loan from Sheffield Wednesday in November 2006, having had a lengthy loan spell with Dale last season. The Northern Ireland under-21 international defender has made just two substitute appearances for the Owls, but he did feature 20 times for Dale in 2005/06, scoring his only goal in a 3-1 win at Macclesfield.
Having impressed upon his return to Spotland the club have paid an undisclosed fee to Wednesday and secured McArdle on a contract until the summer of 2009 in the process.
